Hi -
Thanks for responding
i am trying to draw this image for a wedding... The exact image is slightly different (different placement of a few petals)
I am having trouble trying to get that engraved look... like a letterpress invite... the lines - is there some kind of filter or something or are all those lines just manually put down... or is there an easier way  to go....
specifically it is the broken lines and the white lines with in the pink filled in areas...

    I am trying to get the artwork for an album. "Artwork Not Modifiable" appears in the artwork box and it doesn't let me drag artwork.  What can I do to fix this?

    Words simply can't describe what a kludge iTunes has become.  Every time Apple fixes one problem, a dozen more pop up.  It's like trying to hold a bunch of ping-pong balls under water simultaneously.
    The immediate problem is that Lion with iTunes buggers the artwork.  Some it loses, some it can't find, and some appears and disappears like the Flying Dutchman (look it up...).
    The bigger issue is that so MUCH of iTunes is bad, in general.  Apple trys to use iTunes as a Swiss Army knife, using it to synch iPhones, iPads, etc.  The app has become so generic that it is actually good at nothing.
    The interfrace is kludgy; moving the library from one location to another virtually guarantees a wasted day and usually lost art, music, or backups.
    In general, Apple's hardware and software is relatively ergonomically designed.  I-Tunes, however just plain SUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!

  • I'm trying to create an address spread sheet for my wedding invites and won't let me type zip codes that start w a zero "02904" it just automatically drops it "2904" how do u fix that?

    The easiest fix is to format the receiving column as Text prior to making your entries.
    Another way is to format as "Numeral System", Base: 10, Places: 5. This doesn't work so well if you need the 4 extra digits that some people like to use.
    It's also possible to create a Custom Format, but it's rather more involved.

  • Itunes continually trying to downlaod album artwork for same 2184 tracks

    I have around 11,000 tracks in my Itunes library. Whenever I add more tracks, as soon as Itunes has processed the new songs, it trys to quote "process album artwork" for the same 2184 tracks each and every time. All the tracks have album artwork, so I'm at at loss to explain why Itunes keeps referencing the same songs every time. It makes no difference whether the option to Automatically Dowload Album Artwork" is enabled or not from the EDIT>Preferences menu. Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem and it looks like a lot of others are also.
    Does Apple support this product?

  • ITunes Get Artwork:  "Artwork for [album name] cannot be found.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

    I just installed iTunes 10.5 (latest version as of 11 Jan 2012), onto a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  I loaded my music library into it, it compiled the list and separated them by album.  But even though I'd assigned most of the albums artwork through my Zune management software (a Microsoft product), almost none of them populated into iTunes.  So I went through and started asking the software to try to find album artwork where possible.
    I did this a few times album by album, then I decided to select multiple albums and see what happened.  No problems.  Then I selected all of the albums I had--about 600 in all--and asked it to get artwork.  It seemed to process for a bit, then came back with the error, "Artwork for [album name] could not be located.  You do not have permission to access the requested resource."  I tried this on several individual albums, only to receive that same error.
    The very first time I did it, I was told I needed an account with the iTunes store to make it work, so I signed in using an old Apple ID (the account had been inactive for so long it had been locked for security, I unlocked it and that seemed to be that).  Then I did what I described above.
    The weird thing--to me--is that I can still add artwork to the albums manually if I want to, from imagery stored locally on my own computer.  The only thing it seems to have a problem with is when I ask it to go find artwork from the iTunes store.
    Do I need to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it?  Did something go wrong with the process of authorizing the computer to work with the iTunes store?  Do I need to de-authorize and then re-authorize the computer?  Could this be something related to Windows permissions on the iTunes library?

    Right on about how to reset the warnings, it was exactly that.
    I went through the steps to let iTunes through Windows Firewall, but still get the same problem when I access the iTunes store (and even though I followed the steps in the help file to the letter, I notice it still says iTunes is NOT enabled for it).  And now, thanks to the re-enabled warnings, when I try to get it to download artwork for single albums, this is what I get:
    "Artwork for [album name] could not be found.  An unknown error occurred (-50)."

  • Downloading artwork - "could not get artwork for some albums"

    This might have been addressed before, but I browsed the forum and couldn't find a thread. Sorry if it's been gone over several times.
    I live in Turkey and I've added albums to my iTunes. I checked the box in the Get Info next to Artwork and I selected Get Album Artwork from the Advanced tab. It scans through all the albums and then says "could not get artwork for some albums." "Some" albums means all of them actually. And the error tab details say "artwork not available." I also tried getting artwork by right clicking on a single album but I get the same error. Before it was a 609 error. Now it just says not available.
    I logged out of the store, quit iTunes, loaded it again, re-signed in to the store and tried to get artwork that way, but got the same result. No artwork. The albums are things like Let It Be, Allman Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald... Albums that should certainly have artwork available.
    I'm using Windows Vista.
    Has anyone had and conquered this problem? Any ideas on what I should do? I have 300+ albums, so getting the cover art from wikipedia would be a bit tedious. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
    iTunes: Album art may not download properly
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
    iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.

  • Force Cover Flow to use a particular artwork for a tv show?

    I had a mix up with Cover Flow before but that turned out to just be me getting confused with the way it displayed artwork for various series of a tv show. But now it really is taking the ****.
    The scenario is this, I ripped a tv show from a DVD, several series of it. Put the first series in, gave every episode individual artwork, gave it a programme name, unique Episode ID that was incremental and also a episode number, also incremental.
    This seemed to work fine. Every episode was in order, and Cover flow showed the first episode's artwork as the series artwork which is what I thought it was supposed to do.
    I've been trying to put in the second series, did it exactly the same way. Except after quitting iTunes and restarting it, Cover Flow has idiotically decided to display the artwork for one of the other episodes, not the first one of which I have special artwork set for and for. There is no error in the Episode ID incremental numbers or the Series Number or the Episode Numbers, they're all correct, I've done my usual multi-check and delete then re-add. It just seems to like using the artwork for the eleventh episode as opposed to the first.
    So how can I force Cover flow to display a particular artwork for a show? I probably wouldn't mind so much but its choices are reflected on my Apple TV and it just looks a bit crap on that.

    Forget it. Obviously no one knows.

  • How can I edit/change/update/remove album artwork for a song in iCloud?

    Dear Community,
    my problem is the following.
    I'm editing my songs/albums artworks and when I change these artworks, iTunes Match syncs my artworks back to the original ones.
    I've tried a lot of things, read a lot of discussions but I didn't find a solution for this problem.
    For example:
    I've deleted for an album all of my songs artworks, then set the good one. Then I've done an update for iTunes Match in Store menu. My artworks didn't changed on an Apple TV2
    If I just delete the artworks, do an iTunes Match upgrade, the artworks on an iPhone 4S & Apple TV2 remains the same (I've also removed the songs from my iPhone and redownloaded them...)
    I used TuneUp iTunes plugin for song identifying. It did a very good job, changed my artworks, my metadata, everything looked good. After a few minutes iTunes Match synced, the artworks restored to the old ones, but the metadata info didn't changed, it is updated in iCloud too.
    I'm also tried to get artworks from iTunes, it worked very well for some albums, but again: iTunes Match synced...
    I've turned off iTunes Match, done the album editing. Again when I've turned on iTunes Match, the album artworks restored..
    In my opinion if I use a cloud service, anything I do locally in my iTunes library, it should sync up to the cloud. EVERYTHING means music, music metadata, music artwork etc.
    So what is the solution?
    What can be the reason all of this?
    Someone has the same issue?
    Is it a bug?
    One more thing
    In this album all of my songs has the same artwork (David Guetta: One Love)
    Look at the BRAVO hits cover

    Try this, it has worked for me.
    1. Make a new, empty iTune library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key.
    2. Choose create new library; do NOT have iTunes scan for music.
    3. Enable iTunes Match on the empty library.
    4. Find the tracks with the wrong artwork, highlight them, Get Info and paste the correct artwork into the "artwork" field.
    5. When finished update iTunes Match, then re-launch iTunes while holding down the Option key and chose select library to get back to the "master" library.

  • Artwork for ..... could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609).

    I've installed both 7.5 and 7.6 and with either version for some reason I can no longer get the album artwork to any of my albums, when trying to get them the following message appears: Artwork for ..... could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609). Any help how I can get the album artwork for my albums would be very much appreciated.

    When all my songs were transfered to iTunes half of my songs have '!' to the left of them in a black circle. Is there anyway to delete them all at once or do I have to go through every second song and hit delete?
    Try iTLU - iTunes Library Updater which if set up properly can remove all missing tracks from the library and add all new unlisted tracks from your media folders into the library. Running time seems to grow expoentially with the size of the libray - 34,000 drags, but 5,000 shouldn't be too bad.

  • No artwork for albums in the cloud

    I have a mac which hasn't got my music stored locally but I use iTunes match to play almost all my music however hardly any albums are showing any artwork. The artwork is present on my phone and gets downloaded straight away if I download a song from a particular album.
    I've tried the Library > Get Album Artwork but that only gets artwork for locally stored songs. Anyone know how I can get the artwork to show? My albums view on iTunes is looking pretty dull.
    Thanks

    Hi Pete,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like album artwork is missing from some tracks or albums on your iPhone, and the music was downloaded from your iCloud library. The article linked below has a lot of great suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you’ve described.
    iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match
    Some songs or albums are missing artwork
    If some songs or albums downloaded to an iOS device from your iCloud library are missing album artwork, try the following:
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version for free.
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the iTunes menu, choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
    Once iTunes has completed processing the album artwork, you'll need to update iTunes Match.
    From the iTunes menu, choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    Once iTunes Match has finished updating, launch the Music app on your iOS device.
    Locate the songs or albums that are missing artwork, and delete them from your device by swiping left or right over a song. To delete an album, swipe left or right over the album on iPhone or iPod touch. To delete an album from iPad, tap and hold on the album cover until you see the delete button or "X" in the upper-left hand corner of the album cover. Tap the "X" to delete the album.
    After you've deleted the song or album, download the item again from your iCloud library by tapping on the download icon.
    I hope this helps.
    -Jason

  • IPhone does not show album artwork for some songs!

    My iPhone recently stopped showing album artwork for newly added music....
    I tried to add the album artwork thousand time but no use...
    Restore didnt help as well...
    Any solutions?

    no, it shows only for some, the old ones...not the newly imported ones
    I select all the songs from the album, I drag the picture -from folder or safari- then i drop it in the artwork box...
    sometimes shows for the first song only, but always shows for the album little preview, and never for the rest of the songs...

  • Missing artwork for songs still on iPhone 4s after deleting those songs from my mac

    When I delete songs from iTunes on my mac, the next time I plug in my iphone 4s (for a manual sync) my iphone loses all the album artwork for any songs no longer on my mac (that are still on my phone).  How do I stop this from happening and restore artwork to my iphone without having to manually reapply the artwork to each song? 
    My best guess is that iTunes is syncing the song information/tags on my iphone to match the information/tags on my macbook each time I sync.  Whatever the reason, I should be able to import CDs, transfer them to my iphone (with artwork), delete the files from my computer (leaving them only on my iphone) and not have problems losing the artwork from my phone.  If it was there in the first place, it should stay there.  Help?

    I had same problem and took half a day to figure it out... I tried everything i could think or read here and nothing worked. So i decide to restore my iPhone 4S and configure it as a new one. But before, i did some copy/paste of my photos/video folders from Windows Explorer then i've select all then tried to delete it from windows explorer..after few deleted i got a message saying that the device wasnt responding or was unpluged. But wasnt.
    some files was not deletable. And in my iPhone the pictures wasnt there too but files was listed in windows explorer....
    So, i did a Photos sync but choosing the Windows Sample folder only. It wiped out all my photos folder and did new one, then all my songs were synced again and all is back and playable.
    I suggest, look if you have photos, videos, apps that isnt working or not deletable.. then wipe it out by an iTunes sync (unselecting sync those things or sync completely different apps or folder)
    It worked for me... Hope you get it fixed too.

  • HELP - Album artwork for songs jumbled up!!!

    I took so much time getting album artwork for each of 2000 songs in iTunes expecting them to transfer to 5th Generation iPod and was soooo disappointed when they came up jumbled. I know I'm anal but I like the look!!! The videos come out OK, it's just the tunes.
    My iPod is up to date with latest software. Any others with the same problem and some possible solutions? I have completely erased all songs/videos on the iPod and done an Automatic Update from iTunes and they still come up jumbled. I have tried to pick them out one at a time and getting very frustrated.
    Thanks!

    I took so much time getting album artwork for each of

    they came up jumbled.
    Does the album art show-up correctly for each song in the lower left-hand corner of the iTunes window on your computer? Did you drag the art to that window to add it, or did add it through the tab under Get Info?

  • Cover flow displays the same two pieces of artwork for all videos.

    I've been adding a collection of tv series I have on DVD to iTunes 9.1.1, it all worked fine initially, I opened each video up of a series of tv programs and used the "Set Poster Frame" option to capture a frame of the program to use as the artwork for that program.
    I normally have the programs sorted by what tv program they belong to, so Cover flow only displays the first episode of a series' artwork. I'm not sure why though but something I did yesterday appears to have caused cover flow to blow a fuse.
    If I chose to sort by name before, cover flow would display all the artwork for each episode, and it showed all the different artworks correctly. Now though after some fiddling I did which I cannot seem to recount my steps back to, it only displays the same two pieces of artwork from two particular episodes for all the videos when it is sorted via name:
    http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/3052/tvprogcoverflow.png
    I've tried removing all the artwork, but there doesn't seem to be an option to delete the poster frame and the poster frame artwork doesn't show up under the artwork tab for the individual videos so I can't delete anything from there. If I select all the videos and then right click and get info, then select the artwork check box and click OK it seemingly deletes all the artwork... Then replaces it again with the exact same artwork!
    Although cover flow shows each video has having the same artwork if I Get Info each video it clearly shows it having the correct artwork so why cover flow is messing around like this I don't know.
    I've tried deleting the album artwork cache in the itunes folder, didn't work. I even tried deleting my entire itunes folder which I have separate from my library and the hidden prefs file in my actual library, but that didn't work either.
    Interestingly enough, if I re-add all the videos they automatically get listed as films and go under the film tab. When looking at them under their cover flow correctly shows every episode with the right artwork:
    http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8234/filmcoverflow.png
    As soon as I change the Get Info options tab from Film to TV program either for one video or all of them, then cover flow screws up again.
    Any idea how to fix this annoyance?

    The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
    I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
    So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
    Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.
